The Girls

I do hope you can tell that Maggie has the biggest smile on her face here.

It is so awesome - the pleasure that Katie and Maggie get from each other. (It almost makes me want to add another to the mix. I said almost.)

Anyways, I suppose this one will be about the girls.

Really, I couldn't be more proud of the relationship these two have. I truly think that there is no one who can get Maggie laughing and squealing quite like Katie. They have this game they play (it drives Matt crazy in the car): it's, I guess to get technical - part of Maggie's language acquisition skills; but they squeal and squawk and mimic each other, with escalating volume, of course. Maggie says "da" Katie says "da" and "dada" and then "dada" and it gets to shrilling volumes. I love it - it gets too loud for Matt though, but as long as he does somewhere appreciate it, then we're ok.

It seems as though Maggie goes through more separation anxiety when Katie leaves than when I do....what does that say!? Yesterday afternoon, Matt and Katie went out and Maggie was not very pleasant the whole time they were gone...makes me feel special (not!). But when Katie got home - everything was great.

I can't expect that it will always be like this between them, but I sure can hope for it! And enjoy every second that it is like this.
